I can play this:
Half a mile from the county fair
and the rain keep pourin' down
Me and Billy standin' there
With a silver half a crown
......
my favorite line?
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
What the hell does that even mean?
I do not know.
But I do know I can play this song, and that makes me a musical human.

Love the Van Morrison. I've always wanted to have a gypsy soul that was rocked.
You are indeed a musical human, Ms. Von.
J - I love that you knew the song!! you mah sistah from another mistah
Von doesn't know the meaning of "jelly roll?" My, my...
More musical humanity!
I always thought VM's jelly roll was a little more innocent than other jelly rolls
I always thought it refered to Jelly Roll Morton.
B4 might be correct, it is Jelly Roll, capital letters.
B4 ftw.
I'm guessing.
MenD, what other kinds of jelly rolls are there? Is it drrrrty?
Von, that is SO COOL that you can play Van the Man. Love him to death.
So proud of you!!!!
It is my understanding it's an old slang term for a big doobie. But I could be wrong about that.
take your pick
BG - thanks! I'm beginning to be pround of me too!!
MenD - perhaps, yep.
